T-Pain on Why Future Sucks at Auto-Tune

T-Pain ain’t a hater, maybe. He just doesn’t like the way Future is handling his legacy in the Auto-Tune branch of Hip Hop.

In an interview with Big Regg at Hot 93.7, T-Pain made it clear that although his use of the tech tool fell out of favor in the rap world, Future may have revived it, but not in an effective way.

“I don’t think Future gets the technology,” he said. “I don’t think he understands how it actually works. I think he’s thinking you just turn it on, and it happens.”

And he thinks it might be the case with a lot of other artists.

“A lot of people don’t sing with it, they just sing and put it on after, which is a terrible mistake,” he said. “There’s a lot of stuff you’ve gotta know about Auto-Tune before you can start using it, because it’s the hot thing to do. But Future’s still great, he’s doing his thing.”
